• "Our study aims to identify factors that facilitate or inhibit the realization of fertility intentions. The analysis uses data collected in the first two waves of a Hungarian longitudinal survey. Fertility intentions recorded at the first wave pertain to the subsequent 3-year period, just similar to the behavior variable measuring the realization of intentions, i.e., a birth within the 3-year period in question. For this analysis, we used the respondents' demographic, socio-structural, and orientational traits recorded at the first interview. Our findings show that age, parity, and partnership play a determining role in the realization of fertility intentions, but employment status, religious affiliation, and overall life satisfaction all exhibit significant effects. A marked gender difference was detected not only with regard to employment status but in the area of values and orientations as well." Die Untersuchung enthält quantitative Daten. Forschungsmethode: Sekundäranalyse; empirisch-quantitativ; Längsschnitt; empirisch. Die Untersuchung bezieht sich auf den Zeitraum 2001 bis 2005. (author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
